asuring Urbanity."
The seminar aims at re-centering the debate of measuring urban form on the contemporary issues of designing, planning and regulating the extensive city. It will bring together a group of international experts on the subject and the objective is to discuss the importance of combined qualitative-quantitative approaches on the generation of new insights on the contemporary urban environment and planning strategies.
The workshop presents a set of innovative approaches and methodologies using its own software. At the workshop participants will be invited to use the available toolset to address a specific urban issue where the construction of models for automatic measurement of urban indicators will be part of the urban design process.The workshop is intended for all urban planning professionals who want to improve their skills and knowledge as well as for students or doctoral students in urban planning. The CIAUD will issue a participation certificate equivalent to 3 ECTS credits.The workshop will run from 7 to 12 May 2012 and the seminar will be held on May 11, 2012 in FAUTL.The seminar and workshop program can be found attached ora t the website: http://www.measurb.org/en/home.html We thank in advance for the dissemination of this event to whom might be interested.

Measuring urbanity…
e of the geometry got simplified to either 5 sided or 4 sided extrusions.
I deBrep, once there I see that its outputting with a set of values where N = 8, N = 10, and N = 12. I am assuming this is how I want to divide it up but I'm not sure where to go from there or if my train of thought makes sense.
Any and all help would be greatly appreciated! …
lls? I am going to be laser cutting and have a bed size of 24" x 48". (It's a 12' x 12' cube, each cell is fabricated individually)
There are a few solutions I would see as acceptable but I can't figure it out:
1. Be able to see the bounding box for each cell and I can manually control the number of points and the spacing to visually check each fits in my machine.
2. Be able to actually limit the cells to the max dimensions of the bounding box and have it be an "incomplete" voronoi diagram until I have enough points properly spaced.
3. Be able to have GH determine a minimum number of points and spacing so that the square is complete and the cells fit within a bounding box (my machine bed).
Any help here would be great. Let me know if any additional information can help, and if this question has been answered too many times.…

12:30pm-1:00pm Questions (optional participation)
Details: An outline of the class material is available HERE.
The class will be conducted in English using the GoToTraining software.
You will need Rhino 4.0 for Windows or the Rhino 5.0 for Windows beta installed. You will also need the latest build of Grasshopper. You may use the Rhino 4.0 for Windows evaluation version, however you will be limited to 25 saves. Using the Rhino for OSX WIP is not acceptable for this class.

this one that focus on the % time that you can use a certain strategy fall inside a comfort polygon (rather than how much more comfortable the worst-case scenario is).
Your rules of thumb for solarHeatCapacity look good and the only thing that I would clarify when you use them is that they assume clear double pane glazing without a low-E coating, which is normal for a project that is trying to maximise passive solar heating on a southern exposure.
As for the time constants, they also look good, although I would add that the time constant is a function of BOTH thermal mass and thermal resistance (insulation). In the most extreme case of a high mass passivehaus, you would have a time constant around 36-48 hours. Most code compliant buildings in the US with exposed concrete floors would have a time constants around the default 8 hrs. 12 hrs seems to be a good value for a building that is a bit better than code with exposed massive floors and walls.

cture, Rhino treats them as a single flat list. For example a surface can have 10 rows and 6 columns of control-points, resulting in a list of 60 points.
But 10 times 6 isn't the only way to get to 60. If you want to make a surface out of a list of 60 points, you'll also have to tell Rhino how those 60 points should be interpreted in terms of a grid. It could be 2*30, 3*20, 4*15, 5*12, 6*10, and all of the aforementioned products the other way around.
Sometimes there's only one way for a number of points to fit into a rectangular grid. For example if you provide 49 points, then 7*7 is the only way to make it work, but these cases are rare so we always demand you give us all the information required to actually make a rectangular grid of control-points from a linear collection.
As for "Why is it, sometimes we need to attach additional value into it?", this is usually because when you divide a domain or a curve into N segments, you end up with N+1 points. For example take the domain {0 to 5}, and divide it into 5 equal subdomains. You end up with {0 to 1}, {1 to 2}, {2 to 3}, {3 to 4} and {4 to 5}. However there are six numbers that mark the transitions between these domains 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5. This is why you often have to add 1 to the UCount, because the number that controls the UCount often results in N+1 actual points.…
